Keiser University CRNA 2020 Applicants

[PICU RNtoCRNA]

Good morning everyone, with the last Keiser CRNA class of 2019 filled, I thought it best to start the thread for the cohorts beginning in 2020. I am applying for the Spring 2020 cohort and last I heard, it was still undecided whether they will be doing a doctorate cohort, masters cohort, or both. I was informed that they will only be considering applicants who have all the requirements completed (which I guess they used to allow conditional acceptance). I have had my finger on the pulse of Keiser and the CRNA program for the past couple years and have a bunch of information and questions. I hope you find this forum useful in your career decisions and best of luck in your applications.

Has anyone applied for January 2020 and was interviewed and heard back?

I am just finishing up my application for January. I spoke with an admissions counselor last week. She informed me that they have their meeting with the COA end of this month and should know early November whether they will be doing a doctorate or master's program. She also let me know they are only planning to interview 3 weeks in November. January class has 18 seats, which is a reduction from previous semesters. Hope that helps.

Submitted my application...but they are still waiting on my GRE to then have the committee review my application...do you know what percentile they are looking for for the GRE?

Online it said they minimum preferred score was a combined 297 with a higher score in the verbal. My buddy interviewed and was offered a spot last semester with that exact GRE score. I've also heard of them asking you to retake the GRE and show you can do better.

yes I saw it on the site...hopefully aiming for a 300 or more...GRE is a weird test...I would take the CCRN or CMC any day! Good luck to you!

Thanks for the information. Do you know if anyone has already been accepted for Jan 2020? Also, how long from their interview did they here back?

It has been consistently people hearing back within a week, sometimes two, from their interview date. I heard only 3 offers have been made as of last week.

How was your interview? Did they have more clinical questions than the usual personality questions?
